#Logitech mouse mac iogear kvm update

There was speculation about a Windows update affecting functionality but I'm unsure how that would affect the hardware. I've submitted a support ticket and spoken with IOGear support and they are baffled as to why it works this way but not through the dedicated ports.

The manual provides no explanation as to why one mode works over the other.Ĥ). The manual for this particular device doesn't specifically address not using a gaming mouse and actually has a number of modes for 'odd' device connections.ģ). I'm not mapping or using any of the additional buttons. This is indeed a gaming mouse although I don't use it for that. Mouse works perfectly in peripheral sharing port and horribly in dedicated mouse port. Keyboard and mouse are plugged directly into the KVM.

P.S.: I knew I'd seen mention of mouse drivers in some document it's in 'How do I turn off the mouse emulation on my KVM':ġ). Note that page 26 of the Manual says Mouse Emulation defaults to On. I guess it would have been too much trouble for IOGear/ATEN to have incorporated that in the section of the FAQs document I quoted.

of the GCS1644 Manual says 'Mouse Emulation must be enabled in order for Mouse Port Switching to work', and page 23 of the Manual says how to enable or disable Mouse Emulation-as opposed to the two types of Keyboard Emulation-'Invoke HSM, then press '. If the mouse and keyboard continue not to be re-recognized, power cycle the KVM. Unplugging and plugging the mouse and keyboard into the KVM console port should reinitialize them. My KVM doesn't have emulation, what do I do when the mouse and keyboard aren't re-recognized when I switch? Some multibutton mice and multimedia keyboards devices may not properly work with emulation. Without emulation, the mouse and keyboard connection to the computer is interrupted when switching between computers and some computers may not be able to re-recognize them. The computer will continue to sense a generic two button scroll mouse and a 102 key keyboard, even though the KVM has been switched to another computer. See my next post below.Įmulation is a feature included with most IOGEAR KVM models that mimics the connection between the computer and the mouse and keyboard. They're in CA, so time your calls appropriately.Įdit: Revise third paragraph at 5:30 p.m. You may find something else helpful.įinally, (949) 428-1111 was the phone number for ATEN Support in 2016. Third, look at the manual for the IOGear GCS1644. This IOGear document says you shouldn't do that. Second, your 'extra mappable buttons' sounds as if you're using a gaming mouse. OTOH this IOGear document explains what emulation is, which is the same thing as mouse emulation but not the same thing as Mac/Sun keyboard emulation. If you're not using a Mac, look at this IOGear document on how to turn off mouse emulation. At the time I thought the CS782DP just didn't like the conventional Mac mouse-into-keyboard-into-computer setup-and I was correct that it doesn't, but from what you're saying the CS782DP also can't handle handle mouse signals through its lower USB port (my mouse works fine now that it is separately plugged into the upper USB port, with my keyboard separately plugged into the lower USB port). As far as the mouse is concerned, that bears out my original experience months ago, in which a USB mouse plugged into a Apple keyboard in turn plugged into the lower USB port wouldn't work.
